This document specifies an additional test for verifying the stability of a laden truck fitted with a powered load-handling device, such as a sideshift, which can displace the centre of gravity laterally to a substantial, predetermined extent from the longitudinal centre plane of the truck or from the centred position. Such devices are used in this mode for depositing and retrieving a load.

A displacement is considered to be a substantial displacement if it is more than:

—    100 mm, for a truck with a rated capacity < 5 000 kg;

—    150 mm, for a truck with a rated capacity ≥ 5 000 kg and ≤ 10 000 kg;

—    250 mm, for a truck with a rated capacity > 10 000 kg and < 20 000 kg;

—    350 mm, for a truck with a rated capacity ≥ 20 000 kg;

This document is applicable to the following types of trucks as defined in ISO 5053-1:

a)    counterbalance trucks;

b)    reach and straddle trucks;

c)    pallet stackers;

d)    bidirectional and multidirectional trucks;

e)    industrial variable-reach trucks;

f)     rough-terrain trucks with mast;

g)    rough-terrain variable reach trucks;

h)    counterbalance trucks with articulated steering;

i)     variable-reach container handler;

j)     counterbalanced container handler.
